HARNE'S'S-LOOP.

Application filil June 22,1889.

Be it known that I, CHARLES V. BAUER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in I-Iarness- Ds, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a harness-D.

The obj ect of my invention is that the shaftloop may be stitched without interruption, leaving an eye through which the D is to be struct a Dthat when put into the loop will Another object of my invention is to provide a cheaper and neater D than those hitherto employed, "all of which will be fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, makinga part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my in1- provement applied to the shaft-loop and shaftgirt. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the preferred form of construction. Fig; 3 is a View similar to Fig. 1, showing a modified form; and Fig. 4 a similar View of another modification.

1 represents the shaft-loop, provided with an eye 2 for receiving the buckle for connecting it to the harness-saddle.

3 represents the D, which is inserted in the opening of the loop 1.

The preferred form of construction is to make the D in two parts A B, with the bars 0 Dbroken somewhere in the center, one of them 0 being grooved or recessed to receivethe point of the opposite bar D. The center bar E passes through the eye in the end bar of B, and the parts are united by heading down the bar E after it'is passed through the SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 414,790, dated November 12, 1889.

eye of the end bar B in the side bars C to receive the points of the end bar D and pre- 40 vent them from working.

Fig. 3 is a similar construction to Fig. 1 except the lower side of the bars, that which is to receive the girt, is curved outwardly.

In Fig. 4 I have shown still another 'modi- 5 fication, in which the end bars A B are both provided with eyes for the cross-bar E to pass through them, the side bars 0 D being constructedso as to nest one within the other, as before described. By this means of constructing the D the loop 1 is completed, and then one of the side bars 0 D is inserted in the lower opening of loop 1, and the center bar E is riveted down, so as to hold the two parts of the D fir1nly together. The girt 5 is secured upon the lower bar. These Ds are easily taken out by cutting off the head and a new one inserted in case of accidental breakage without the necessity of ripping the stitches.

Having described my invent-ion, what I claim is' A harness-D composed of the side and center bars, made in two sections, one of the pair of said bars being grooved to receive the points of the opposite side bar, and the parts secured together by the center bar passing through an eye in the end bar and riveted thereto, substantially as herein specified In testimony whereof I hav v hereunto set my hand.
